The IAM operates a 50 kN universal testing machine with extensive fittings for quasi-static tension, compression, bending and peel tests.
Special features of this testing machine include a pair of contact extensometers for high precision strain measurement directly on the sample and a laser/camera based optical, non-contact displacement measurement system allowing longitudinal and transversal strain measurement at multiple locations.
Another speciality is the peel test sample holder for determining the peel resistance (EN 1464) of thin structures, e.g. adhesive tapes, bonded to sufaces.
